The class heirarchy looks something like this:

Globals.HTMLFile
    DocumentTemplate.HTMLFile
        DT_HTML.HTMLFile
            DT_HTML.HTML
                DT_String.String

You want to look at the __call__ method of the DT_String.String class for
enlightenment, although I'll warn you that it's likely to make anyone but Jim's
head explode. ;)
